Courtesy of RetroWDW, lots of great footage from the park, including some more obscure angles/shots:

Amazing to watch.
They built this place right the first time. Forty years of progress, I and would not set a foot in the modern park if I could choose between the current offering and the vintage product.

OK, nice video but...who is the guy filming? Clearly a creep...
2:58, 3:10, 3:15, 8:50
There are others, but got too disgusted to even watch.

I paused the video at 2:58 and looked through the thread to be sure I wasn’t the only one to catch the video completely zoomed in on a random woman's posterior.

2:58 was the only one where I was like "Oh yeah, that camera man is totally a guy." I didn't get the others. The girl at 8:50 had a Philadelphia Flyers t-shirt on (this was the year they won their first Stanley Cup, I wonder if this is before May of that year) but he's not zooming in on her or anything specifically that I can see.

Man I loved the Skyway when I was little and it's also always great to see 20,000 Leagues again.
Cue Whoopi Goldberg, saying, "This video is from a different time in American history, when public values were different, and people behaved differently. We present this video to you unedited and unaltered so you can observe and note those behaviors, but without accepting or condoning them."
Wow. So good to see this. I was nine when it opened and we lived close by. We moved in 1975. I went back when in high school about 1979. All I wanted to do that trip was ride Space Mountain as it was just finished when we left and the lines were too long to even attempt. I still waited nearly two hours. Very worth it. Never went back until 2010. One could enjoy a day at Disney when this was made and never leave Main Street USA. Was it better? IDK. I do know it was very different in '79 after the rides became the focal point. And yes, 20000 Leagues was awesome even if it was already looking dated in '79.
